 * Translation:  To search at night what was lost at day.
 * English equivalent: (something about belatedness).

However, the proverb actually means belatedness because to lose something during the day, the loser had a clear view but the loser failed to "see" or was careless, and by the time the loser "saw" or "searched" the view was obscured and the loss difficult to recover/undo. Hence, the proverb refers to belatedness.

 * Transliteration: Bariin suul baisnaas batganii tolgoi baisan ni deer.
 * Translation:  Be the head of a wasp than the tail of a lion.
 * English equivalent:
 * Interpretation: The proverb is not so much about a preference for leadership as it is about free will. A tail, regardless of how magnificent a creature to which it belongs, has no free will and is controlled by the brain while the brain or the "head", regardless of how insignificant a creature to which it belongs, has nothing else that so evidently controls it. Therefore, the "head" has more "freedom" and hence, the proverb calls for more autonomy and possibly, influence.

 * Transliteration: Margaashiin uukhnuus unuudriin uushig deer.

 * Context: Mongols eat offal as well lard and regard lard to be the most nutritious or rather, valuable food. Most people dislike lung.
